BOOK OF LIFE (2014) Movie Reaction! | First Time Watch! | Diego Luna | Channing Tatum | Zoe Saldana

[@JacobDarkk]

The bull wasn't forgotten, it was more healed, since it was made up of thousands of angry bulls, the apology song was able to calm them and give them peace

[@milkiassamuel780]

One of the most underrated and visually artistic animated movies made. Guillermo Del Toro always gives us some of the most creative and yet insanely underrated animated films. I feel like Coco was inspired by this film and both are really great

[@M_k-zi3tn]

Yes. I really love this movie and I hope more people discover it. And it's got amazing music!!

[@najhoant]

This wasn't directed by him, he was just a producer

[@DrAlbino]

Jorge R. Gutierrez is one of the best directors for animated movies, hes loves to explore Mexican culture and bring it to life, you should check out his movies more, hes the real creative drive in this movie.

[@thunderbull331]

True i didn't even know this movie till my friend suggested it after watching coco. I definitely feel storywise The Book of life is better than coco. But coco has more beautiful animation.

[@DrAlbino]

@@thunderbull331 I am a professional 3D Character Animator, i found the animations in this movie better than Coco because of the sheer joy in them. I can imagine the animation department having so much fun animating all these shots.

[@bluewolf6323]

My favorite thing about this movie is that Joquain and Manolo are still friends. They are still friends who love the same girl and have some heavy shadows over them but it never tears them apart until those heavy shadows appear and cast over them.

[@gamebeast4191]

this movie was released more than 2 years before Coco

[@advait35]

At 49:12 he does say it/find out

[@JanisBrown-ct9jp]

It was released 4 years before CoCo

[@brianl8481]

Book of Life walked so Coco could run.

[@sleeples7852]

I am so happy this movie finally gets the recognition it deserves. I don't know when I stumbled upon it, but I show it to people every chance I get when they don't know it.

[@crystalpistey-lyhne3406]

I❤ This Movie!🥰🤗😋💀🎛🖥💘

[@rem_kaii]

40:53 I interpreted this as setting all the bulls' souls free as they do not deserve to be angered and killed for the pleasure of people watching bullfighting. Manolo sings "If you can forgive," meaning he is apologizing in behalf of his family and freeing the bulls from the anger and unfinished business they were in with the bullfighters that killed them.

[@mrreyes5004]

I think one detail of the plot that kind of gets overlooked is that Joaquin DOESN'T want Maria to marry him just to protect the town. When General Posada advises Maria to marry him _right after Manolo just died,_ Joaquin even pointedly tells him that this is not the time, and Joaquin is later about to call off the wedding before Chakal shows up and conveniently interrupts it. I just like the usual subversion of having Joaquin be an ass the whole way through.

[@DocuzanQuitomos]

Indeed; the fools (or jerks, if we want to be harsh XD) are the villagers that operate under the idea that "Joaquín is our protector, grant him his every wish". There is room for Joaquín to grow as a human person, he is not bad; his main flaw comes from two different sources: sometimes his head gets too much into the concepts of "honor and glory" he gets a bit too much selfish... and that he has no idea he is, unwillingly, Xibalba's pawn in this game (the bet was that María would end up marrying him, regardless of mutual interest... or even if he, eventually, wanted it or not).

[@Watcherobot]

UNDEEEEEEEERRAAAAAAATED!!!!! And it's better than Coco, go on fight me!! And by the way this came out first

[@TheShadow8771]

Right

[@Good_Boy_3000]

And oddly tons of similarities & parallels with Coco. BOL-Coco Manolo-Miguel Love music Both Day of the Dead related stories. Major characters killed with toxins Venom-Poison Both main villains die/defeated with bells

[@Hannah-w1p]

@@Good_Boy_3000 the lesson is that Bells are really Op.

[@TheLegoKid2003]

40:45 I think it's less of the bulls being forgotten, but more the souls of the bulls finally being put to rest. During the climax we see the bull bursting into flame and fire is sometimes linked to anger. Manolo singing and apologizing to the bull calmed the bulls rage and allowed the souls of all the bulls the Sanchez family killed to move on.

[@Drakin292]

It goes by a little quick, but if you listen to the narration the first time Chakal is seen it's explained that he stole the medal from Xibalba origionally, but Xibalba had stolen it back. After which Chakal had come unhinged, going more than a little nuts with his obsession to regain it.

[@SprayInk-Kreatïv-Nouveau]

18:05 I didn't noticed that the round musician was voiced by Gabriel Iglesias! 😂

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

The Book of Life and Coco are really amazing films and great takes on The Day of the Dead

[@Watcherobot]

This is better than Coco in my opinion

[@jeremyricardogomezsantos1561]

​@@Watcherobot Understandable but it is less accurate with tradition. It feels a bit like a novel or stereotype.

[@juniorjzp78]

I love this film. Personally, I like it better than Coco. When I first saw it, and even now, the Apology song gets to me. When I finally saw Coco, probably due to the hype I kept seeing and hearing, it didn't get to me even though the story is "sadder". TBoL, It's more fun. Unfortunately, it always gets overlooked. You should all watch Kubo and the Two Strings and Jack and the Cuckoo's Clock Heart. I love those movies but have yet to see too many reactions. Especially Jack, there is a cadence to the movie. I can't explain it, but I think other people should check it out.

[@D_0_S]

There was a Renaissance of loveable pig characters for a decade. Churro gang rise up!! Also, one of the mariachis is Gabriel Iglesias who specifically requested his character be Fluffy

[@joshuawinters7644]

Fun Fact: Jorge R Guitierrez Has Confirmed That This Movie, As Well As Two Of His Other Works, The Netflix Original Series Maya And The Three And The Nickelodeon Cartoon El Tigre Adventures Of Manny Rivera Are All Connected! With Maya, Zatz, And Acat From Maya And The Three Having Reincarnated Into Maria, Manolo, And Joaquin Respectively, And Then Those Three Being Reincarnated Into Frida, Manny, And Zoe From El Tigre!

[@KojojoMojo]

Yessss lets goooo One of the most underrated movies

[@Kittkattniss]

Such a beautiful film, this film will forever be in my heart.

[@Ebyruchan]

so glad youre reacting to this; i loved this movie so much and the voice cast was amazing~ I didn't watch your review yet so I'll edit with more after I do :D Edit: lol Jaby being so distracted by the quirky male characters is funny. I just find this art style so imaginative and refreshing. Also, I think the reason she chose Manolo was because he was always more genuine and didn't use things to prop himself up - like his mustache, medals, etc. He's always just been a guitarist/singer who didn't want to be violent. lol

[@kellisteadman-aldaz3846]

Best reaction..."I don't understand, why didn't she choose Joaquin?" Lmao! Also referenced every movie, video game possible with each character.... man being the manly of men...made me laugh!

[@HarleyQuinn-vb5dm]

My god, i cant recall anyone whos reacted to this movie. Awesome.

[@ovyto6267]

This movie still has one of my favorites song ever, The Apology song💪🏾

[@Nightlightknight]

When Coco came out, I wasn’t keen on watching it because it came so soon after Book of Life and I didn’t think another Day of the Dead film could rival it. But I love them both now.

[@jdogx211]

I LOVE the Mariachi Brothers!❤😊 They are an absolute HOOT!😂🎉

[@Edmqueen]

this movie was so , just omg, I loved it, yes it was a tiny bit creepy but the music and the gods and the story, just yeah, I love the gods in this story, they are both phenomenal

[@StazzyP]

One of my fav animated movie

[@tokubenanimations6506]

The movie is directed by Jorge R Gutierrez, who has a very unique art and animation style. I recommend his other works, like his two series El Tigre and Maya And The Three. Also yes, bull fighting involves killing it. It's sad.

[@Cyrus_MarsB]

Why do people compare Coco and The Book Of Life😭? The Book Of Life was 2014 and Coco was 2018.

[@xxcringeycookiezxx3441]

Thank you!!

[@UsrNmTkn]

To me it's like comparing How the Grinch Stole Christmas to The Polar Express. Based on the same holiday with similar elements related to the holiday and culture. But different stories.

[@timsmith8489]

This and Coco both prominently feature the Mexican Day of the Dead holiday and so would be expected to have certain similarities, much like two different Christmas movies will have a lot of similarities. Other than what is necessary because of featuring that holiday they don't have much in common. Except for one thing: in both the main male protagonist grew up in a family that has a family business, the family expects them to go into that business, and they want to be guitarists instead. I'm curious if that is a theme from Mexican folklore that the writers of both films happened to find when researching Mexican culture.

[@kpednault]

I've been waiting for someone to react to this!!!! It's so beautiful!

[@javelldunn3379]

One of my favorite animated movies

[@ghostmonkey0432]

I'm glad this movie is being covered it was just spoon good one of my favorites, it was definitely overshadowed by coco. If you watch the extra features there's so much detail in everything they put on screen

[@AlolaMaskedYT]

I originally hated Carlos during the first part of the movie because he was being a bit of a perfectionist to Manolo and didn’t accept that killing the bull was wrong and his decision was humane. But I changed my mind about him ever since the climax where he had that change of heart

[@braiazito]

30 seconds in and I'm already laughing. haha

[@David-rh7yw]

ive rewatched this oh so many times like i love this movie so much

11:27 - knack?

[@serenaperez5495]

What i find cool is the last song was actually written by UsTheDuo as their wedding vows, and the studio got the song from them

[@ArigatoAkari]

Knack is the ps4 they were talking about

[@dylanglassgow7458]

I see how you would compare it to littlebigplanet, but it actually looks exactly like the game "the puppeteer" The other game you were thinking of was Knack, which i could also see

[@blitz.v280]

Btw the game you are talking about at 11:26 is "Knack" mostly ryt?? I loved that game

[@jcor6529]

My favorite movie growing up I’m super hyped y’all got to watch peak

[@JonathanHaavisto]

the game that has the breaking down and building up feature is Knack

[@JoshBou]

I truly love this movie.❤️‍🔥 Yes, more than Coco, though it's really not comparable.

[@martywittenberg1427]

If the secret entrance in the wall was surprising to you then what really will cook your mind is it's shape. It pretty much tells you who the lady is right there. Kinda looks like a Sombrero shape..

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Watch Channing Tatum again in 21 & 22 Jump Street. It's totally worth it 👌.

[@kpednault]

Coco has more heart, but I like the visuals of this one

[@hitarezin]

i love this movie, it's a shame it didn't get as famous as coco

[@OriginalVenomZA]

I took my daughter to go watch this movie when it released. Just so that I can fan-boy all out over the music in the movie. She liked the story though.

[@jdogx211]

6:20, when hour bored, ANYTHING can sound like a good idea.

[@jr4it06]

This might be a hot take, I recently watched this and liked it more than coco

[@supersizesenpai]

I love the movie "Wet dreams may c*m"🤣🤣

[@najhoant]

You should check out Maya and the Three too. It's also very good, has a similar style, is made by the same creator (Jorge R. Gutierrez) and has been said by him to take place in the same continuity

[@danielsessions7808]

Am I the only who thinks they took from inspiration for the animation style from the old El Tigre show?

[@alfieforsyth560]

11:27 your thinking of KNACK Jaby!

[@slondinium]

This film was years before Disney announced Coco I have the dvd of this film and watched it a lot. I prefer this film more the music and storyline.

[@isaacanimalogo-4548]

3:21 Actually you 2,Dia de los Muertos is Not a Mexican halloween or like halloween at All! Halloween is mostly about candy and scaryness, day of the dead has nothing with scary costumes, giving out candy, no scary decorations or pranks and sadly no trick o treating!Instead it's all about coming together for like 1 big family reunion with all your family members even with your ancestral or deceased members, their alters would be personalizly decorated with all that represented that person's life,favorite food, passtimes,items and most importantly a picture of them in the center and decorated with marigold so that their spirit can find their path to the alter with their family from their world and return really you must learn more about this and other world cultural holidays!

The left guy is so annoying. He's such a hater. He just complains about everything, trying to justify Cocoa being better when it's not.
